BCF (Borneo Cultural Festival) is perhaps one of the most glamorous cultural events in Sibu. Now into its 7th year, BCF has gained popularity over the years.BCF is truly an extravaganza. It is a composite event grouping ethnic festivals, grand stage shows and trade exhibitions under one banner. Scheduled to be held from June 27 to July 5, BCF promises a line-up of events to enthral you throughout.
SMC initiated this cultural event with the ideas to showcase the beauty in our ethnic diversity and to promote it as a tourism product. This very noble event deserves more local support and participations for it to go up to a new height.
In the opinion of our dear Sibuians, SMC perhaps may give more extensive publicity to attract foreign tourists to come in to partake of BCF. Honestly, foreign response means a lot to Sibu in our efforts to promote the central region as a hub of tourism.
I look forward to partaking of this very colourful cultural extravaganza!

Sibu itself has nothing much to offer. But it is the gateway to somewhere more exotic. While we are struggling with the increase in petrol price, strangely the government can afford to host this Borneo Cultural fest. If the money is from the government, it should be used for money deprived projects.
To me if BCF is more properly and professionally managed and promoted, it will be an income generating project. Heard that SMC is losing money on this venture and is actually thinking of abandoning it.
77044anonymous, a lot more has to be done for the central region to gear up for CAN (culture, nature and adventure) tourism. I still recall in 90s Philip (rubberseeds)sharing with me his views on ecotourism for the region. Alas, there has been much lacklustre follow-up ever since by our government.
rubberseeds, I concur with you.
